  1. Washington @ Carolina (I rescheduled my training run for this?)

    Kansas City @ San Diego (yawn)

    Green Bay @ Minnesota (thank God for that much!)

      1. I thought the traditional Wisconsin show of love was to throw and Old Fashioned at your loved one's face, but maybe that's reserved for weddings and funerals.

        In Minnesota, we throw lefse at you and dump powdered sugar on your head.

        1. Throwing Brandy Old Fashioned is indeed for holidays and family events. It's how you say "I love you" to blood relatives. The snow thing is more of a come-on. Then, if things go well, you do the ceremonial tossing of cheese curds at the wedding.

          1. Ah, I understand. So many complicated happenings on Old World 3rd Street.

            Btw, I was in a bar in Bay View neighborhood (not beating up Frank Jude) I believe it was the Palomino, when some random dude came up to me and asked me if I wanted to play dice. I had known that "playing dice" was a thing in Milwaukee, but I had no idea what the rules were. I respectfully declined. He politely asked me what I was drinking, offered to buy me one, which I accepted with thanks. Then he called me a faggot and walked away.

  2. Actually, for a game featuring two teams I don't give a damn about, this Washington – Carolina game is pretty good. Who knew?

  3. Damnit, saw the headline about Forsett breaking his arm, thought, "Aw, too bad for the poor sucker who has him on their team." Yeah, I'm the poor sucker. Damnit.

  4. Off topic: I'm trying to apply for a passport so I can go to Prague and blow all of my money before I inevitably die of lung cancer, and this BIG GOVERNMENT website doesn't have December as an option for a birthdate. WTF is that all about? Anyone know how I can get a passport without dealing with this crap website?

    1. I take it you're on the State Department's website? I got curious and entered some fake info with a December birthdate and was taken to the next page with no problem. ???

      I'd open a new window and try again. If that doesn't work:

      For any questions about forms or status, please contact the National Passport Information Center
      by email at NPIC@state.gov
      or by phone: 1-877-487-2778 (TDD/TTY: 1-888-874-7793)
      For purely technical issues, such as broken links or error messages, please email:passportweb@state.gov

      PS: Prague is worth the hassle–love that city!

      PPS: Lung cancer sucks, dude–sorry to hear this. If you want support for kicking the habit, I'm here!

    2. "Thank you for visiting the Department of State website. Please note that people born in December are not eligible for travel outside of the country. Sucks for you."

    3. Jesus, Vodka. That sucks. Both teh cancer and December birthday. Everyone knows you get shorted on the presents.

      I got my passport the old fashioned way, at the post office. Surprisingly easy, and they take the picture there, too. Oh, I think I might've had to go to the bank to get something notarized, too.

      1. OK everyone, settle down. Just to clarify: Vodka doesn't have lung cancer. He's just saying that when the inevitable happens, some day, which will occur long long in the future, after he outlives us all, despite his nere-do-well lifestyle.

        Carry on.

  5. And FOX just decided that no one is interested in watching the Carolina blowout and switched to Cowboys – Dolphins. WTF, this could be amusing…

  6. Just to make it clear, I do not currently (as far as I know) have cancer. I will get cancer at some point because I've been smoking for 25 years. I was just making light of that inevitable outcome and looking for travel tips. Also too fuck the Lions for Failing at losing.

          1. Thank you. I thought I had worded it right.

            ETA: if I actually had lung cancer, holy fuck you guys would hear about it through multiple people.

    1. No, I got the sarcasm in your original comment. I just know too well how rotten that disease is (it took both my mom and my grandmother) and reacted from there.

      As far as travel tips go, it's been years since I was in Prague but the Kafka Museum was worth checking out, in between visits to the pubs to have that fabulous Czech beer…

          1. Suitcases get tossed around back there. A shampoo bottle could get jostled open and there goes your shiny new lung.

    1. (btw, I am still amused that the Vikings real quarterbacks are required to have the names of children's television show hosts… Fran, Teddy… while Packers QBs have to be potential lost Maverick brothers.)

      1. You forgot "Two-Minute" Tommy Kramer. Also, A. A. Ron should change his name to Beau, or Brent, or Burnt, or Brunt, or something.

  7. Never mind the Packers–Mason Crosby has outscored the Vikings so far. I'll have to be extra nice to a colleague of mine who is from Minnesota next week FFS…

  8. OK, WTF was that "unnecessary roughness" penalty on Cordarrelle Patterson? The refs are clearly in GB's pocket. Fuck them.

    1. Well, the Vikings fucking lost that game fair and square. At least the fucking shitty refs ultimately did not interfere with the outcome of the game.

      1. I picked him up Sunday when Beastmode had big, ugly Q next to his name ("Abdomen," too many Skittles?) I put him in when Lynch was declared Inactive. I figured he might give me about 10 points or so. Holy crap! I've never had a player score more than 50 before! You still have Brady and Gronk, so it ain't over til it's over.

      1. Good game Acne Packer-wipes and refs! (Sorry, that's as conciliatory as I get.) The NFL is obviously hoping for a Pack vs. Pats Super Fudge Fitty for the ratings.

        1. That response deserves this.

          1. They actually tell people traveling to the other state to see a road game to rent a car in that state so your own car doesn't get set on fire.

          2. Our marching band once flipped a car belonging to a UCLA fan that was parked in our way as we marched to the Colosseum (the insurance people were not happy about that). We also broke some Cal fan's leg when he tried to steal one of our helmets (sorry Callyson, there's lots of bad blood between our schools).

          3. I wasn't exactly thrilled by the ass kicking Oregon gave us, either. Time to beat UGLY and then throw a pile of money at a new coach

          5. Ugh, I remember that. That was disgusting.

            I find myself imagining Vikings-Packers as people getting on the southern part of the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, trying to throw pebbles and small rocks at each other, and failing as said rocks fall helplessly into the Mississippi.

  9. Regarding tonight's Bungles /los Cardinales game, smokey got us tickets to the Vikings/ Cardinales game on Dec. 10th. The question is, how many discounted Christian Ponder jerseys should we wear?

    1. It's official: Wal-Mart, by forcing people to work on Thanksgiving to sell things for Christmas, hates America. Where's the outrage in the War On Thanksgiving?

      1. I wonder if they're going to ask for donations again for their employees who cannot afford food on Thanksgiving, or if they finally grasped the irony.
